I left the movie wishing I had taken more notes because I couldn't remember some of the names. I had wanted to do more research, for example, on one of the most interesting characters in the movie, the journalist Ida B. Wells, but I couldn't read my note as the theater was dark and the pen apparently wasn't clicked open when I wrote her name down on a scrap of paper. Well, she's got her own section on this website.

Denouncing the Democratic Party

"I am not a Democrat because the Democrats considered me a chattel and possibly might have always so considered me, because their record from the beginning has been inimical to my interests; because they had become notorious in their hatred of the Negro as a man, have refused him the ballot, have murdered, beaten and outraged him and refused him of his rights."

His book has all that was in the movie and more.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not a lot of new facts that were unknown, though I agree with needing more on people such as Ida. I did enjoy the way it was outlined. Well worth watching!

The leftist manure at Rottentomatoes are ripping it to shreds. Can’t remember reading so many lousy reviews since the last (and all) Adam Sandler flicks.

Anyway, if they’re that pissed off at it, it must be great!
